Past two weeks I've been working at a cafe with the cutest ceramics. Trying to save up some money this summer so I feel lucky to have found a job that pays very well and also involves something I enjoy.

Fragile pieces.

Cookie jars yet to be filled with goodies. Personally I prefer them empty just as a decor.

Iconic polka dots and floral prints pretty much summarize Cath Kidston as a whole. Can get quite sickening if you look at it for too long, main reason why I avoid the Cath Kidston store in Winchester high street. Current season is filled with more bright colours and the usual pastel shades.

I'm sure Kidston will feel hacked off if she came across these fakes I saw at a market stall in Portsmouth. Same fabrics and print however without the green logo. These weekend bags were under £20 which is even cheaper that those that are found on sale.

Saddle bags up for grabs at £16 only!! Plenty of other copies too but I didn't really bother picture them all as they look very much the same.

Up close. You can see something isn't right straight away in terms of quality.

Was looking through designer profiles to kill time and came across Naheem Khan. According to The Guest Writer, you can tell he isn't as popular by looking at the models that are on the runway even though he has been around since 2003.﻿

Yes I'm jealous...after all she is married to the man of my dreams.

Mrs O in Naheem Khan (both dresses). I hadn't heard of this Indian American before but I fell in love with some of his fall 2011 collection.

I admire the long sleves on this shift dress.

﻿﻿

Fur ball. Hope its as soft as it looks.

﻿﻿

Rich colour but the model looks kind of scary...

﻿

I can see the indian influence with the amount of embroidery he has used in his collection.

﻿

Especially with this one as it drapes neatly like a sari. Infact it would be very pretty as a sari but draping on the left rather than the right.

﻿

My favourite out of all his creations. I like the colour and the drape on the skirt that is effected by the weight of the beads.

Hope you enjoyed the post by the Guest Writer who prefers not to go public. I've been busy at home just catching up on a lot of things.

Exams are nearly over for those in schools and colleges meaning the seasons for party is here! My younger sister has her high school prom coming up in a matter of weeks. My task is to make two gowns for the night, one for her and another for her dear friend.

We went fabric shopping but couldn't find anything in the right colour so I ended up asking them to buy a lot of white fabrics. My sister is brown but not exactly the fair type so her choice of nude wasn't the greatest. Took me more then a week to talk her into choosing a different colour. As for Katie (her friend) it took less to convince her from going away from another shade of nude.

Nude is in but seriously nude for prom?? BORING. Here is what they wanted and what they actually have... only a tad bit different... ﻿
